In the process of producing engine valves, the valves are subjected to a first grind. Valves whose thicknesses are within the specification are ready for installation. Those valves whose thicknesses are above the specification are reground, while those whose thicknesses are below the specification are scrapped. Assume that after the first grind, 73% of the valves meet the specification, 21% are reground, and 6% are scrapped. Furthermore, assume that of those valves that are reground, 46% meet the specification, and 54% are scrapped. Given that a valve meets the specification, what is the probability that it was ground only once?

In the process of producing engine valves, the valves are subjected to a first grind. Valves whose thicknesses are within the specification are ready for installation. Those valves whose thicknesses are above the specification are reground, while those whose thicknesses are below the specification are scrapped. Assume that after the first grind, 70% of the valves meet the specification, 20% are reground, and 10% are scrapped. Furthermore, assume that of those valves that are reground, 90% meet the specification, and 10% are scrapped. a) Find the probability that a valve is ground only once. b) Given that a valve is not reground, what is the probability that it is scrapped? c) Find the probability that a valve is scrapped. d) Given that a valve is scrapped, what is the probability that it was ground twice? e) Find the probability that the valve meets the specification (after either the first or second grind). f) Given that a valve meets the specification (after either the first or…
In the process of producing engine valves, the valves are subjected to a first grind. Valves whose thicknesses are within the specification are ready for installation. Those valves whose thicknesses are above the specification are reground, while those whose thicknesses are below the specification are scrapped.

Workers at a particular mining site receive an average of 35 days paid vacation, which is lower than the national average. The manager of this plant is under pressure from a local union to increase the amount of paid time off. However, he does not want to give more days off to the workers because that would be costly. Instead he decides he should fire 10 employees in such a way as to raise the average number of days off that are reported by his employees. In order to achieve this goal, should he fire employees who have the most number of days off, least number of days off, or those who have about the average number of days off? a. He should fire employees who have the most number of days off. b. No matter who he fires, it will not increase the amount of paid time off. c. He should fire employees who have the average number of days off. d. He should fire employees who have the least number of days off.
A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric powerplant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in Table P2-4. If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic yard of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city’s viewpoint and assume that 200,000 cubic yards of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected.

The Pine Christmas Tree Farm owns a plot of land with 5000 evergreen trees. Each year, the owner allows retailers of Christmas trees to select and cut trees for sale to individual customers. The farm protects small trees (usually less than 4 feet tall) so that they will be available for sale in future years. Currently, 1500 trees are classified as protected trees, while the remaining 3500 are available for cutting. However, even though a tree is available for cutting in a given year, it may not be selected for cutting until future years. Most trees not cut in a given year live until the next year, but some diseased trees are lost every year. In viewing the Christmas tree operation as a Markov process with yearly periods, we define the following four states: (1) Cut and sold, (2) Lost to disease, (3) Too small for cutting, (4) Available for cutting but not cut and sold.The following transition matrix is appropriate: States (1) (2) (3) (4) (1) 1 0 0 0 (2) 0 1 0 0 (3) 0.1 0.15…
In the construction process for solid-state flash memory drives (thumb drives), nearly all drives areconstructed with a large potential amount of storage space, and are sold base on the actual amountof memory that forms correctly during the process (For example, drives that are designed to store 64gb but contain a large number of bad sectors will instead be formated and sold as 32 gb). Consider amanufacturing process where every chip has a 21% of having enough bad sectors to be downgraded,and these errors are random and independent.(a) If we wish to compute the probability thatxnumber of chips out of a production run of sizenaredowngraded, do we have a probability distribution that will work for that? Are the assumptionsfor that met? Explain. (b) Compute the probability that 5 chips out of a production run of 40 are downgraded.

Whenever Toronto has severe snow storm, many flights are delayed and Pearson International Airport has to deploy resources to clear the apron, taxiways and runaways to ensure that the airport continues to remain operational in addition to making sure all the departing aircraft are completely de-iced before they take-off. This is a critical safety measure as aircraft with ice buildup on the wings or the fuselage during take-off can be catastrophic. At the same time, the de-icing operation is extremely time consuming and costly, and must be accurately factored into the forecast of an airport's operation to ensure optimal and safe performance. You are the Operations Manager at Pearson International Airport, and after reviewing the snowfall patterns for the last 10 years, you have determined the following probabilities: The chance of having a severe snow storm during the winter season is 0.15 The chance of having major flight delays during the winter season is 0.35 Amongst the days there…

Recreate the given figure for a call center that wants to achieve a 40 percent no hold rate. Suppose that agents only become cost effective (where the revenue they generate exceeds their cost) if they have 90 percent utilization. How large, in terms of number of agents, does the call center need to be to have agents that are generating a positive profit? If mean call time is 5 minutes, what would the arrival rate need to be for 90 percent agent utilization with this many agents?
